Sfogliatella
Quick answer
Sfogliatella is a shell-shaped Neapolitan pastry with crisp layered dough filled with semolina, ricotta and candied citrus.
The 'riccia' version has many thin crackly layers; the 'frolla' uses a soft shortcrust.
Best warm from the oven.

What goes with sausage and peppers?
Serve sausage and peppers on a crusty hero roll, over creamy polenta, with orecchiette, or alongside roasted potatoes. Balance the richness with something sharp: a lemony arugula salad, giardiniera, or a glass of Chianti or Montepulciano.
